Glutathion

I am not from the US and what I have seen is that most of you that get glutathion prescribed for asthma are in the US. Could yo please advise me of what companies sell glutathion that can be sprayed so I could possibly order it from ?

I haven't been able to find a Dr. here that knows what I am talking about.


Thanks very much to both of you for your helpful comments.

So buffered as PH buffering? Meaning that I shall use it with bicarbonate to avoid too low of a PH?

So, it is not very safe to be used without a Dr. supervision!!!

I guess I will wait then to see how my asthma evolves under cortisone sprays, but it has been 18 months using them everyday non-stop... that is also dangerous!


If you nebulize glutathione then you need a doctor's prescription. The pharmacists at Key Pharmacy will work with your doctor if they are not familiar with glutathione.

If you use the capsules then you do not need a doctor's prescription. But, you should learn everything you can before you nebulize the powder in the capsules.

8. Nebulizer application to the lungs, as pioneered by Dr. Buhl et al. at the NIH and as described by Dr. Julian Whitaker in his newsletter Health and Healing. Dr. Buhl used 600 mg in a few milliliters of water per application. Dr. Whitaker uses 300 mg, two times per day, applied over 5 to 10 minutes with a nebulizer, available from a medical supply company. He recommends Wellness Health and Pharmaceuticals (numbers given above) and California Pharmacy and Compounding Center (http://www.californiapharmacy.com) as sources for the glutathione. Nebulized glutathione is being used for a variety of lung diseases now, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and multiple chemical sensitivity. There are reports that quite a bit gets into the blood using this approach. Valerie Hudson, who has helped to pioneer use of aerosol glutathione in cystic fibrosis, suggests L-Glutathione Plus capsules from http://www.theranaturals.com, mixed with boiled water, applied with a nebulizer. No prescription is required for the capsules, and it may also be possible to get a nebulizer without a prescription. Valerie suggests one capsule containing 200 mg of reduced glutathione mixed into 3 or 4 ml of boiled water. An important feature of this source of glutathione (available without a prescription) is that it is buffered with sodium bicarbonate. Clark Bishop, M.D., wrote me that this buffering is important, because if the pH is too acid, it can lead to bronchospasm when nebulizing. People who are subject to asthmatic attacks should not use nebulized glutathione, as it can result in bronchospasm, thought to be caused by the sulfites that form when glutathione is mixed with water.

It's also very important in nebulizing to use pure, boiled or sterile water, and a clean nebulizer in order to prevent introducing infections or respirable particulates into the lungs. Because of these issues, nebulizing is best done under the supervision of a doctor or a respiratory therapist.


I have asthma and I never had a bronchospasm from nebulizing glutathione. I guess I'm lucky and, as well, it could vary by individuals.


Yes, the Key Pharmacy in Kent, Washington. The pharmacist are fabulous and will accomodate you.

You need an MD's prescription. The pharmacists will visit w/ your MD about the benefits of glutathione.

You can google them and find their website.
